Product Liability
Defective products harm millions of people every year. These products involve everything from defective toys, industrial machinery to car seatbelts. When a product causes personal injury or damages to property caused by negligence of the defective product, an experienced products liability lawyer will file a claim against the manufacturer, or the party responsible for the flaw in the product, to hold them liable for the injuries or damages incurred. He will gather evidence substantial enough to show that the product was indeed defective and presents the evidence in court.
There are three main categories designated for defective products, which may result in product liability claims:
- Design Defects - flaws in the item's conceptual design
- Manufacturing Defects - specific defects which occur during the manufacture of the product
- Defects in Marketing - improper instructions or failures to elucidate consumers of potential and latent dangers in the product.
Here is a short list of common defective products that have a high potential for injury:
- Automobiles and Automobile Products (including Auto Recalls, Tires, Car Seats, Safety Belts Seats, Brakes, etc.)
- Foods from Grocery Stores, Fast Foods and Edible Products
- Medicines (Pharmaceuticals, Over-The-Counter, Prescriptions, Diet Pills, Homeopathic Solutions, etc.)
- Cosmetics (mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, etc.)

- Baby Strollers, Baby Feeding Bottles
